I'm going to be completely transparent with you: some of the links on this website are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. This doesn't cost you anything extra. The price is exactly the same whether you use my link or not.
Here's how it works and why I do it.
An affiliate link is a special tracking link that tells a company I sent you their way. If you make a purchase through it, I earn a small percentage of the sale as a commission. Think of it like a referral fee.
For example: if I recommend a kitchen tool on Amazon and you click my link and buy it, Amazon pays me a small commission, usually 1 to 4 percent. You pay the same price you would have paid anyway.
I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and the Amazon.ca Associates Program, affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. When you click an Amazon link on this site and make a purchase, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
I recommend the software I actually run my own businesses on. Some of these companies pay me a commission when someone signs up through my link. That includes platforms like GoHighLevel (which theBrewHQ is built on), ClickUp, and Google Workspace, as well as any courses or communities I'm an affiliate for. As with everything here, I only point you at tools I use myself, and a commission never buys a spot on the list.
I work with brands I genuinely trust and use. Sometimes these are paid collaborations, sometimes affiliate relationships, and sometimes both. I will always clearly disclose when a piece of content is sponsored, when I was given a product for free in exchange for a review, and when a link earns me a commission.
I may take part in other affiliate programs from time to time. When I do, I'll disclose it clearly in the content where those links appear.
I try to make it obvious. You'll see a note like "this post contains affiliate links," or a line such as "as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases," near the content. On social media I use tags like #ad, #affiliate, or #sponsored where required.
Here's what I will never do:
This policy follows the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines in the United States and the Competition Bureau guidelines in Canada on endorsements, testimonials, and affiliate relationships. In plain English: regulators require me to tell you when I might make money from a recommendation. That's what this page is.
You are never obligated to use my affiliate links. You can go to the retailer directly, search for the product yourself, or shop wherever you prefer. I won't be offended. But if you do use my links, I'm grateful, because it helps keep this going.
If you're wondering whether a specific link is an affiliate link, how these relationships work, or anything else about how I make money here, reach out through my contact page. I'm happy to be completely transparent about all of it.
I may update this disclosure from time to time. When I do, I'll change the "last updated" date at the top. If the change is significant, I'll note it on the site or let my email list know.
Thank you for being here.
